I had to look up what that was. You know what? Screw it, let the Chinese have the Phillipines.  :uglystupid2:

It ain't just the Philippines- it's most of Southeast Asia that snacks on boiled baby duck embryos.




Apparently the Asian Diaspora in Vancouver is big into this as well, and it's not covered by existing Canadian consumer health law. I'd be interested in hearing SDR's take on his neighbors' snacking habits...

Oh, good Christ. If I ever feel like slipping from my diet, I just need to bookmark this page.

Baluts aren't that bad.
Although it sure helps to have had five or six San Miguel's.  (And do hold your nose.)

I bug my Flipper friends about balut but I've never seen it on offer here.  I don't go into a lot of Filipino grocery stores though.  The Asian supermarkets near my place all have stuff like live geoduck in tanks and the duck carcasses and pig's heads for sale in the deli areas but that's about the "oddest" stuff I've seen.  I've also brought up boshintang with my Korean co-workers but unlike the Filipinos who just laugh, the Koreans get all defensive about it.

Worst stuff I have had served to me was in Japan.  Couldn't do it.  Shirako and ika no shiokara are not food, damn it!

Shirako  (fish sperm sacs)



Ika no shiokara (salty, fermented squid viscera)

OK, we need something funny instead of something gross

Hey, why not. It works for Chinese Takeout, no?

Looks pretty tasty TBH.
I've eaten squids many times before, and the sauce/condiments they use seem like they could be good.
